Agree or disagree with the claims...but you cannot refute that the claims were made. This is the dividing line between Christianity the others. Jesus did not reject WORSHIP from his disciples. There was nothing to misunderstand when Jesus made a claim that he was equal with God the Father. Gospel of John 10:30. The Pharisees started to pick up rocks because this was considered blasphemy. When people started to worship Paul and Barnabas after they had performed a miracle they said for them not to do this..because they were just men. Jesus NEVER said this. He accepted worship. The question is do Mormons WORSHIP Jesus as Lord or do they think him and Joseph Smith are equal. Jesus does not leave people with alot of options....you can have only one of 3 conclusions about Him as CS Lewis stated...Either He is LORD, Liar, or Lunatic...His claims leave you with NO other options. If Mormons believe he is LORD to be worshipped as such then Fine...they ARE Christians...otherwise they put Joseph smith on the same level and this is unacceptable to Historic Christianity.
